There is some brilliant information here. How applicable would the costs be for living in Sydney?

I have been made an offer for employment within Sydney and analysing the package it would give me A$7,800 per month after deduction for taxes & medicare levy. We are family of 2 with what I would call a moderate middle income living standard. Is this a livable wage? Or will it be a stretch to make the budget work?

I realise that Sydney is more expensive than other areas and hence the question. Also having scouted the web to try and get some indication of housing prices has been difficult to say the least. Any ideas on what would be the rental on a 3 bedroom house? I would have no problem commuting as nothing could be worse that the 1.5hr commute I have here in London.
